–
Current-state
: This indicates the current filter mode including/excluding the speci-
fied multicast address.
–
Filter-mode-change
: This indicates a change from the current filter mode to the
other
mode.
–
Source-list-change
: This indicates a change allowing/blocking a list of the multi-
cast sources specified in the record.
IGMPv3 Operation
Basically, IGMPv3 has the same join/leave (allow/block in the IGMPv3 terminology) and
query-response mechanism as IGMPv2’s. Due to the major revision of the membership
report, however, leave group messages are not used for the explicit leave process any
longer. In IGMPv3 concept, membership reports with state-change records are used to al-
low or block multicast sources, and those with current-state records are used to respond
to membership queries. Membership report suppression feature has been removed for
multicast routers to keep track of membership state per host.
9.2 Multicast
Functions
The switch provides various multicast functions including Layer 2 multicast forwarding,
which allow you to achieve the fully effective and flexible multicast deployment.
This section describes the following features:
•
Multicast Forwarding Database
•
IGMP Snooping Basic
•
IGMPv2 Snooping
•
IGMPv3 Snooping
•
Displaying IGMP Snooping Information
•
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR)
•
IGMP Filtering and Throttling
9.2.1 Multicast
Forwarding
Database
Internally, the switch forwards the multicast traffic referred to the multicast forwarding da-
tabase (McFDB). The McFDB maintains multicast forwarding entries collected from multi-
cast protocols and features, such as PIM, IGMP, etc.
The McFDB has the same behavior as the Layer 2 FDB. When certain multicast traffic
comes to a port, the switch looks for the forwarding information (the forwarding entry) for
the traffic in the McFDB. If the McFDB has the information for the traffic, the switch for-
wards it to the proper ports. If the McFDB does not have the information for the traffic, the
switch learns the information on the McFDB, and then floods it to all ports. If the informa-
tion is not referred to forward another multicast traffic during the given aging time, it is
aged out from the McFDB.
